During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Men can handle these things on their own.
A family of three sat around on the kang and counted their money happily.
Mrs. Ye also taught Qingtian, “When you count out ten copper coins, put them in a pile. Ten small piles together will make a hundred copper coins.
"Ten hundred coins put together make a hundred coins, which can be exchanged for one ounce of silver."
In order to take care of Qingtian, the couple also counted in tens.
After counting, I bought a total of two hundred coins and two or three hundred coins in change.
Mrs. Ye tied up the two hundred yuan with a rope and put it in a locked box.
Then Sister Ye counted out ten copper coins and stuffed them into Qingtian's small purse, patting her and saying, "Qingtian, you're great for helping your parents count the money today. This is a reward for you. Save it for buying candy."
Ever since Qingtian followed Boss Ye and his wife, he has never had a bad mouth and has never lacked anything.
This is the first time I have my own money.
She was so happy that she kept holding the purse with her two little hands, as if the copper coins would fly out of the purse if she raised her hands.
Boss Ye and Mrs. Ye were amused by her little appearance and laughed.
Ye Laodao said: "Our Qingtian is really a little obsessed with money!"
"There's nothing wrong with being a little obsessed with money." Mrs. Ye quickly defended her daughter, saying, "You'll save more money and live a better life."
"Yes, yes!" Boss Ye quickly responded.
The remaining copper coins were placed in a box by Mrs. Ye and then stuffed into the kangqin, for occasional use at home.
The venison sold for so much money, but it was not the biggest part of the business.
The most valuable parts of this sika deer are actually its skin and antlers.
There is no rush to sell the antlers, but the deerskin must be processed as soon as possible.
Boss Ye discussed with Sister Ye: "Tomorrow I will go to my aunt's house and ask for someone with good skills. I can spend some money to clean and nitrate the deerskin. What do you think?"
The leather that has just been peeled off cannot be used directly to make clothes or leather mattresses. It needs to be nitrated first to make the leather mature before it can be used.
The leather that has been nitrated will not only become softer, but the hair on it will also be stronger and less likely to fall off, and the leather can be preserved longer.
Boss Ye has been hunting for many years and is familiar with the method of tanning leather. He is more than capable of making leather mattresses for his family.
But this piece of sika deerskin was to be given to the Qin family, and his craftsmanship was not good enough.
In order to protect the deerskin from being damaged by himself, Boss Ye decided to spend money to find a skilled craftsman to nitrate it.
"Okay, you decide." Mrs. Ye naturally had no objection. "The money is in the box. If you need it, take it yourself."
Just now, I spent several times more time than usual to count with Qingtian.
So after counting the money, Mrs. Ye went to the kitchen to prepare stewed meat for dinner.
Under normal circumstances, Qingtian would have followed her like a little tail.
But today Qingtian didn't follow her. He said he was going out to play and ran away.
Mrs. Ye couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Why did her daughter suddenly stop sticking to her?
Boss Ye said very understandingly, "Now that you have money in your pocket, you must be going to buy some candy."
Mrs. Ye immediately said worriedly, "Oh, she can't go out alone! What if she runs into those hooligans in the village or Chunhua..."
"Okay, go cook, I'll follow her out to take a look."
Boss Ye gave Mrs. Ye some reassurance, then quietly followed Qingtian.
Qingtian was completely unaware, but the puppy was very alert and spotted Boss Ye.
It turned its head and saw that it was one of its own family members, so it didn't react and turned back to follow Qingtian.
Although he had agreed to let Qingtian bring the puppy back, Boss Ye has been too busy recently to take care of it.
Usually, Mrs. Ye would just give it some food.
Boss Ye only knew that the puppy liked to follow Qingtian. When Chunhua bullied Qingtian before, it rushed up and bit Chunhua on the butt.
After following him today, Boss Ye discovered that this bastard is really interesting.
Qingtian was young and walked slowly, so it followed Qingtian at a moderate pace.
It neither lags behind nor surpasses, and unlike other puppies, it does not run away to other places to sniff around.
Not only that, the puppy was actually paying attention to the movements around him.
Whenever someone approaches, it will look at them vigilantly until the person is far away.
Boss Ye was watching in amazement from behind. It was the first time in his life that he had seen such a sensible dog.
It seems that we should really take good care of it.
When the puppy grows up, won’t it be like Qingtian’s personal bodyguard!
